“…The percentage of crystallinity obtained was 31.89 ± 1.07% and 29.61 ± 4.40% for S1 and S2, respectively. Similar values were obtained with Ramon9 and Huaya [2] starch extracted with SBS. The above could be attributed to the similarities in crystallite size, amount of crystalline regions, the orientation of the double helices within the crystalline domains, or the extent of interaction between double helices [2,9]…”

“…Currently, starch is widely used in multiple applications such as the food industry and materials development [1]. Many recent studies report starch isolations for material production from non-conventional sources, such as huaya (Melicoccus bijugatus) [2] and parotta (Enterolobium cyclocarpum) [3], which do not compete with human consumption and can be used as raw material for industrial processes [1,3]. Besides, this polysaccharide can be obtained from Ramon seeds, a tree available in southeastern Mexico [4].…”

Brosimum alicastrum is a native tree widely distributed in the Yucatan peninsula where is called Ramon. Some studies have reported that Ramon seeds contain high starch content, recently used in developing novel and sustainable biomaterials. This work aimed to evaluate the effect of the extractive solution on the starch isolation Ramon seed flour; for that, distilled water (S1) and NaOH solution (S2) were used. The Ramon starch yield was 28.0 ± 1.4% and 31.9 ± 1.7% for S1 and S2. The morphology of starches was observed with scanning electronic microscopy, the functional groups were determined through Fourier-transform Infrared Spectroscopy and crystallinity was calculated by X-ray diffraction analysis. The results indicate that both types of starch presented spherical morphology, similar functional groups and crystallinity values, suggesting that both extraction methods are suitable. The starches isolated exhibited similar thermal behavior assessed by differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis.

“…[8] Huaya (Melicoccus bijugatus) seed starch was found to have potential application in non-transparent foods requiring high temperatures (e.g., baking), and for designing products with a lower glycemic index and lower caloric value. [9] Power ultrasound is sound waves in the frequency range of 20-100 kHz with a sound intensity of 10-1000 W cm −2 . When ultrasonic waves pass through a liquid, this results in alternate rarefaction and compressions, and bubbles or cavities can be formed if the amplitude of the waves is high enough.…”

Ultrasound‐Assisted Extraction of Lychee (Litchi chinensis Sonn.) Seed Starch: Physicochemical and Functional Properties

et al. 2021

High-power ultrasound (HPU) is a non-thermal processing method that has been researched and used in the last years. The application of ultrasound can modify and improve some technologically important compounds such as starch. This research aimed to examine the effect of ultrasound treatment on yield, physicochemical, and functional properties of lychee seed starch (LS). HPU experimental conditions used were sonication time (5 and 20 min) and amplitude (40% and 70% ). Starch yield significantly increased with increasing ultrasound amplitude and time. The ultrasound did not change the morphology and shape of the granules but caused cracks in their surface. Surface damage induced an increase in amylose content, relative crystallinity, enthalpy of gelatinization, swelling power, solubility index, and acid hydrolysis of the starch. These results indicate that ultrasound mainly affected the amorphous starch region. The morphology, size, color, rheological and thermal characteristics, crystal structure, and structural order features of the untreated and ultrasound-treated LSs were compared. A principal component analysis was carried out to assess the effect of the ultrasound treatment on LS characteristics.

“…However, research has nevertheless focused on the production of bioplastics from other raw materials, not intended for food use such as microalgae [29,30] or organic waste. For example, Moo-Huchin et al (2020) [31] studied the use of huaya seed, considered as fruit waste as a precursor to produce bioplastics. The results of their study show that starch isolated from fruit seed flour can be a remarkably interesting alternative to the use of starches from unconventional sources, by application of food packaging.…”

Sustainable Management of Organic Waste and Recycling for Bioplastics: A LCA Approach for the Italian Case Study

et al. 2021

The collection of the organic fraction in Italy recorded significant growth in the decade 2010–2019 (+74%) due to both the increase in the spread of separate waste collection as well as the increase in the biological treatment plants of municipal waste. However, within the organic fraction there remains a share of non-compostable material (NCM) (plastic, glass, aluminum, etc.), equal to ~5% of the total, which affects the efficiency of composting practices as well as decreasing both the yield and the quality of the final compost, causing a portion of organic material to be subtracted from composting and ending up in landfills. Therefore, the purpose of this work is to evaluate how the sustainability of the organic fraction collection and the amount of compost obtained in the composting plants could improve, following the use of biodegradable and compostable bioplastic bags (shoppers), in replacement for conventional plastic ones. The Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Carbon Footprint (CF) methodology was used for the assessment, comparing two different scenarios based on data relating to the collection of the organic fraction in Italy in 2019. Scenario 1 relates to the composting of organic material that also contains plastics, bioplastics, and non-compostable materials, while in scenario 2 the share of plastic material in the first scenario has been entirely replaced by bioplastics. The results show that scenario 2 assumes the lowest values for 15 impact categories out of the 18 analyzed, and, among these, in three categories it assumes negative values: ozone formation-terrestrial ecosystems (−1.64 × 10−2 kg NOX eq), ozone formation-human health (−8.50 × 10−3 kg NOX eq), and fossil resource scarcity (−4.91 × 102 kg oil eq). Furthermore, scenario 2 has a negative carbon footprint (−3.80 kg CO2 eq) compared to scenario 1 (79.71 kg CO2 eq), and in general it is the most sustainable scenario as a direct consequence of the greater amount of compost obtained (307.4 kg vs. 269.2 kg).
